FROM RIGHT TO LEFT.
The Reason sOuio AIphabets Are
Read that Way.

There was no doubt good reason
for the practice of the Hebrews to read
and write from right to left. We have
rten specialized and inquired about
it, and while we could not learn OF
discover anything very tangible in re-
gard to it, we are quite convinced tn a.
the most pertinent reason lies in the
fact that our vision from tight TO left
is much clearer and stronger than il
is from the left to right. Naturally
30 we are informed, there is
no difference in nerves, or in the
optic arrangement Of the human eye
betv cen the right or left eye,, ct ouri in
quiries and observ ations show clearly
that we are all. or almost all, disposed,
when we take an article of merchan-
disc, ora picture, or anything else, for
examination into our hands, to look at
it from right to left and not from LETT
to right. Since VIC have endsavored
to fathom thia question, we can see
quite an advantage to the eye by read
ing from right To left. Ii We read
from left to right, the parts read
are yet continually before us; while il
reading from right to left, the parts
read are then beyond our sight, and
the parts to be read are uaobstructei
in view. Now, when We write
from left to right, the line
we are writing is rather
of delusion to the eye, while ii we
write from right to left nothing is i'm
in front of our vision but u
clear space. Even the pen and its
shadow cease to exercise q less dis
turning effect, from right to left,
while from left to right much allow
ance is experienced by men who have
much writing to do. Our observation
shows that, unaware, people use their
eyes from right to left whenever OF
wherever they go into close examina-
ion OF anything, whatsoever that ma,
DO; just as they would naturally raise
heir right hand in order to get cledre,
'ense OF feeling by touch.-HebreN

D. NJ. BRRRY's FUNERAL.
The circumstances surrounding
RHta ibeRtF,

hkh6 Az
This morning large delegation Of
the friends of the late D. Nj. Berry
will attend his funeral at San Fer
nando. The train for San Fernando
will leave the Southern Pacific depot
this morning at 8 AS O'Clock, and will
reach its destin ltion short time b,
fore the funeral, which will take
place from the church at IL O'Clock
The returning train will leave at about
1915 =. M, and will reach this city
at l o'clock.
Mr.. Berry had been quite unwell
for some time, but ON Saturday last
he was in this city and said he was
feeling better than usual. He returned
to San Fernando Saturday afternoon,
and on Sunday his daughter
and son in-law went for a
drive leaving him alone at the
house. During their absence he
walked to the depot and remained
there until he was taken with con-
gestive chill. He managed to reach
his home but there was no one t. at
tend to him and for two hours, until
the arrival of his daughter, he suffer-
cd from q chill. Everything was
done for him that was possible, but
for two days he WAS unable to speak.
and then he rallied little but sank
again until on Thursday afternoon he
passed away, regretted by all who
knew him and by the many who had
been benefited by him during his
lifetime.

TECHNICAL POINT
Raised Regarding the Stockton
Asylum Sewage Canal.

SACRAMENTO, December 23.--Con-
troller Dunn upon advice of Attorney
General johnson has refused to draw
q warrant for SAC, 900 for work done
and for which the last legislature APP
propriated the above sum to construct
and maintain an open canal from
Stockton Insane Asylum along North
street to the city of stockton and then
into the San Joaquin river for
sanitary and drainage purpo-es. The
raises the point that the act
only provides for the canstruc-
ton OF an open canal. DR.. Mays,
Superintendent, and Trustees Doah
and McDougall, of the Asylum, to-
day urged The controller to draw
warrant for the amount, stating that it
was neeessary to lay sewer pipe to
make O fall INTO the canal SO that sew
craze could be carried out.
